You are right, that was the right solution. Sorry for being slow on the 
answer.

Just use:
scons qt_plugins_install_path=whatever

Notice that 'whatever' should be the relative path from the prefix

So if you set the install_prefix=/usr then 
qt_plugins_path=lib/qt4/plugins/designer


I realized that this is not convenient and it is not even documented on the 
INSTALL file. So we should figure out a general solution which provides 
proper defaults.

In linux, a general solution would be $QTDIR/plugins/designer but this is 
unrelated to install_prefix and the install_prefix is needed for packaging 
systems. 

Usually Windows targets have not Qt installed, so QTDIR based path for plugins 
has no sense at all for them. The current default for qt_plugins_path option 
($install_prefix/bin/designer) is the one used in Windows. For Mac that is 
not used at all by the bundle builder.
